One injured after car vs. pole accident on Tolend Road in Dover

DOVER — One man was transported with non life-threatening injuries after his car struck a utility pole on Tolend Road Wednesday afternoon.

Rescue crews responded to the scene at about 3:45 p.m., and found a red four-door sedan suffering substantial front end damage. The bottom of a utility pole broke and was laying on the ground.

Lt. Marc Plante of the Dover Fire Department directed traffic at the intersection near French Cross Road. He said the roadway would be blocked for an undetermined length of time while Public Service of New Hampshire workers evaluated and repaired the damage.

The driver was transported by a City of Dover ambulance to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
